ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
ECO Window Systems roof replacement and installation in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $9,500 to $22,000 depending on roof size, material, and whether underlayment or decking needs work. Most full replacements take 3 to 5 working days once materials arrive. We’re an independent ECO Window Systems service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, and we give straight line-item pricing before any work starts.
This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who have ECO Window Systems products on their home and need a roof that integrates cleanly with them. You’ll learn how we handle the intersection where roof and window systems meet, what things actually cost here, and why our approach works for coastal Florida homes. If you’d rather just talk it through, call (904) 747-8989 and a real person picks up.
How ECO Window Systems Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Flashing separation around ECO Window Systems impact frames. Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms and salt air work on the flashing joint where roof decking meets window heads. We regularly find the original installers used roofing nails instead of structural screws, which loosen after a few hurricane seasons. We remove the old flashing, inspect the ECO Window Systems frame for corrosion, and re-flash with peel-and-stick membrane before the new roof goes on.
- Leak paths at the roof-to-wall transition above ECO Window Systems picture windows. Large fixed glass units, especially on the leeward side of Fort Lauderdale homes, show water staining at interior drywall above the frame. The cause is almost always a failed step flashing or missing kick-out diverter at the roof edge, not the window itself. We correct the roof drainage and add kick-out flashing so water never reaches the window head again.
- Aluminum frame pitting near roof drainage areas. ECO Window Systems exterior frames hold up well, but constant runoff from a clogged gutter or a poorly sloped roof section causes salt and debris to pit the finish. We’ve seen this on homes east of Federal Highway where ocean air is constant. The roof fix is correcting slope and gutter placement; the window fix is cleaning and sealing the affected frame sections before runoff can do more damage.
- Undersized drip edge exposing ECO Window Systems mounting flanges. Some original roofs in Fort Lauderdale went in with narrow drip edge that leaves the top flange of the window exposed to direct water. Over time, water wicks behind the flange and into the rough opening. When we replace the roof, we install wider drip edge and verify the flange is fully covered and properly lapped.
- Failed roof-to-window sealant from previous patch jobs. We see a lot of silicone and caulk layered over old leaks around ECO Window Systems frames. It never fixes the problem because the water is coming from above, not at the face of the window. We strip the old sealant, identify the real roof penetration point, and fix the roof so the window doesn’t get wet in the first place.
Our ECO Window Systems Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and scheduling. You call (904) 747-8989. A live person answers, takes down your address and what you’re seeing, and we set a time to come look. No call centers, no voicemail tag.
- 2
Roof and window inspection. We walk the roof and check every place it meets ECO Window Systems frames, looking for the leak paths and flashing failures specific to your home’s construction. You get a written report of what we find.
- 3
Materials and approach decision. We lay out options: shingle, tile, or metal roof, plus underlayment choices suited to Fort Lauderdale’s hurricane codes. If your ECO Window Systems frames need cleaning, sealing, or re-flashing, that goes in the same quote as a line item.
- 4
Removal and decking check. Old roof comes off. We inspect the decking and replace any rotted or water-damaged sections before anything new goes down. This is where hidden damage from old leaks usually shows up.
- 5
New roof installation with proper window integration. Underlayment, drip edge, step flashing, kick-out diverters, and the roof covering go in. Every transition at ECO Window Systems frames is flashed and tested with water before final inspection.
- 6
Cleanup, walkthrough, and the Done Right Promise. We clean the site, walk the roof and window transitions with you, and explain what was done. If anything isn’t right, we come back. That’s the whole point of the 36500-Day Done Right Promise.

FAQs
No. Roof replacement does not void an ECO Window Systems product warranty, provided the window frames and glass are not altered. When we re-flash around existing frames, we do it without modifying the window itself, which keeps your original manufacturer warranty intact. If you want us to verify the current condition of your frames before roof work starts, call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll include it in the estimate.
Yes, in nearly every case. We work around the existing frames and focus on the flashing, drip edge, and drainage details at the roof-to-window transition. Removing windows is only needed if the frame itself is damaged, which we would flag during inspection. For an exact assessment of your home, call (904) 747-8989 - estimates are free.
Most full roof replacements take 3 to 5 working days once materials are on site. Tile roofs run longer because of the weight and layout; shingle roofs move faster. Weather is the wildcard, especially mid-summer when afternoon storms roll through. We’ll give you a schedule in writing before we start, and we stick to it. Call (904) 747-8989 to get a timeline for your specific roof.

No, unless we find rotted decking or structural damage that was impossible to see before tear-off. If that happens, we stop, show you photos, and get your approval in writing before any additional work proceeds. No surprise invoices, no change orders. That’s been our rule since 2011.
